Bill’s and my favorite comic strip – photography related or not – is What the Duck by Aaron Johnson. The strip features a group of ducks – who happen to be photographers. It is some of the best commentary on the photography industry we’ve ever seen.
Not Just ANY Skill – December 31, 2007
(c) 2007 Aaron Johnson.
Two of our favorites strips from the archives are
What the Duck # 95
(c) 2006 Aaron Johnson
What the Duck # 129
(c) 2007 Aaron Johnson
The strip is published Monday – Friday. Readers can suggest titles for the day’s strip – which is announced the next morning. The entire WTD archive is available online. For those who prefer to read their comics in a book – the first year of WTD just came out in book form. WTD gear is also available through Cafepress.
What the Duck has a very generous sharing policy. Aaron Johnson allows people to link, post, copy/paste or save the strips to their websites, blogs, newsletters, etc.
So if you want a good laugh every morning – be sure to read What the Duck!
